Jeanne Tripier. Creation and Delirium

Jeanne Tripier (Paris, 1869 - Neuilly-sur-Marne, 1944) remains relatively unknown in Spain, but her artwork is undeniably fascinating. Full of lyricism, her work was created during the decade she spent in an asylum in Neuilly-sur-Marne, where she died. The artist's self-taught nature, the link between her visual works and embroideries and her mental illness, her psychopathic-megalomaniacal outbursts and the connection with her matter-rich manifestations or reincarnation as other individuals – such as Joan of Arc – in her personal battle as an interplanetary vigilante all contrive to make her a truly fascinating character.
